InitStat

Hi,I would like to have an information: I'm trying to obtain the throughput per hour of my simulation.I noticed that, if I run the simulation, the drain statistics consider the throughput from the start of the running. But in this way the throughput value will reach the real throughput value in a long time. I would like to collect the drain statistics after the first MU has reached it (the drain). So I used the InitStat method in the entrance controls of the drain but in this way the statistics are resetted every time a MU arrives in the drain. Is it true? How can I call the initStat method only the first time the first MU arrive in the drain?

Hi Steffen_B, Sorry but I'm not very expert! I'm a self-taught! I understood that I have to write your message in the method but what is "flag"? And how I link "flag" and the bolean start value (false) to my MU?

Hi Simulator, I apologize for having not explained myself very well. I wanted to say that if I run the simulation the real throughput value is reached after a lot of days because the first MU takes at least 1 day to reach the drain. So I thought that the reason was that the simulation calculates the throughput averaging the istantaneous values of the throughput considering also the first day in which no MU arrives to the drain. Is it true? Thank you for the link you posted me but I had already read it and it's not very useful because if I change something in the simulation I have to run it always at least one time to find how long is the warm up to put it in the method.

Re: InitStat

Ok,thank you. I forgot to put @. before the word "flag" in the method. But the method doesn't switch the flag in "true value" after the first MU passes. Infact the total throughput has always the same value= 1. I apologize if i couldn't post photos.
